The Ask for Angela campaign started with a simple idea: helping patrons to self-identify when they’re unsafe, without needing to verbalise it, in case they’re in the presence of danger. There are variations of this campaign including “the angel shot”, so patrons can order drinks at the bar without alerting the presence of unsafe company.
They can approach the bar and “ask for angela”, where staff are trained in responding through safety processes to help the patron safely leave the situation. The campaign provides signage and information on how to implement it in venues.
